Defining "winning" as reducing the US trade deficit, boosting GDP, and creating jobs: No, Trump's 2025 tariffs (e.g., XX% on non-USMCA Mexican imports) raise $156B in revenue but cut GDP by ~0.9%, eliminate ~169k jobs via retaliation, and barely dent the deficit per Tax Foundation and IMF analyses. Short-term pain, dubious long-term gain.
